Not only will we need planets to colonize. We'll need them to mine and to grow food.

first things a planet should have to make it habitable (includes sattelites like the moon):
- since ~earth that has an atmosphere
- water, since it's the basic product for all life-forms on earth
- solid ground, what should we do without it
- liveable, if there are any virusses we should populate on that planet
- etc.
and our moon doesn't qualify for one of those stuff.
